2/2 MR. H. J. ELWES ON BUTTERFLIES FROM [Apr. 21, 



Ci.EROME GRACILIS. 



G. gracilis, Butl. Ann. Nat. Hist. ser. 3, xx. p. 401 (1867) ; Dist. 

 Rliop. Mai. p. 81, t. viii. 1 c?- 



A good species, of which four males and two females were sent 

 from Perak by Doherty. The female, which was unknown to Dis- 

 tant, differs only in the shape of the wings. 



Clerome arcesilatjs. 



C. arcesilaus, Fabr. ; Butt. Ind. i. p. 313. 



Also taken at Perak by Dohertv, and constantly distinct from 

 the last, which is smaller and of a different colour l)tlow. 



Melanocyma faunula. 



Clerome faunula, Westw. Gen. D. L. ii. p. 334, t. 54. 1 $ (1851 ) ; 

 Dist. Rhop. Mai. p. 81, t. ^'iii. 2 $ . 



Clero7He {Melanocyma) faunula, Westw. Trans. Ent. See. n. s. iv. 

 p. 186, t. 21. 2 ? (1858). 



A good series of this fine species were sent from Perak by 

 Doherty. As the male does not seem to hare been described, I 

 may note that it has a curious sexual character in the shape of a 

 large tuft of grey hairs between the submedian and internal veins 

 of the hind ning near the anal angle. The same tuft exists, but in 

 a much less developed form, in the inale of Clerome assama, Westw., 

 and seems to have been overlooked in the ' Butterflies of India ' as 

 well as by Westwood, though it has been remarked as occurring in 

 2^anthotcenia busiris. On this account and on account of its very 

 different appearance from any other of the genus Clerome known to 

 me, I think Westwood's genus should be adopted. 



Xanthot^nia busiris. 



Clerome (Xanthotcenia) busiris, Westw. Trans. Ent. Soc. n. s. iv. 

 p. 187 (1858). 



Xanthotctnia busiris, Dist. Rhop. Mai. p. 82, t. v. fig. 7 ; Butt. 

 Ind. i. p. 284. 



A pair sent from Perak by Doherty. 



Eurytela horsfieldii. 



E. horsfieldii, Bdv. Faun. Ent. Mad. p. 54, $ ; Butt. Ind. ii. 

 p. 12, t. xviii. 69. 



Two males were sent from the Karen Hills by Doherty, and I 

 have another from Singmo in the Shan States taken by Dr. Manders. 



Eurytela castelnaui. 



E. castelnaui, Feld. Wien. ent. Mon. iv. p. 401 (1860) ; Reise 

 Nov. t. 61. figs. 5, 6. 



Seems not common at Perak, as Doherty sent four males only, 

 but no female. Tliey are somewhat larger than, but otherwise iden- 

 tical with, a specimen from Borneo.
